ABSTRACT
The tide of technological change-represented by labour-saving household devices, employment in factories, the conveniences of the towns into which people are migrating, increased education, and medical advances, particularly the Pill-is increasingly emancipating women in the developing countries from ancient ways of life which were characterized by heavy feminine burdens of toil. Yet, paradoxically, these instruments of liberation are at the same time causing many women to be chained more tightly than ever to their domestic duties.
